Radio Libre, meaning Free Radio, will start broadcasting on Saturday, December 17th on 101.5 FM in San Jose. Free Radio means that we broadcast without a license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC regulates the public airwaves. We say, the public airwaves belong to us, not any federal agency or corporation. Through Radio Libre we are exercising our freedom of speech.
